Japan eliminates Team USA...
the ghost:
The US team is not even in shape yet, and don't really take this classic seriously. While the teams without a lot of MLB stars this is the biggest thing for them and their countries. US will never be the true force it could be, and especially if you look at the player base in the MLB, a lot of the greats are not from the U.S. anyways.

just a few of the many Americans who didnt participate. :grumpy:
not even tryna sound OD cocky, but if we tried we would win, easy.
you got players scared to get injured, which it should be, your being paid tens of millions of dollars to play for your MLB team.
Japan, Korea & Cuba have been practicing for the WBC since the last one ended lol.
but Japan is a nasty team & i think they repeat tonight. 8)

Not true, b/c the Japanese and Korean team play a fundamentally sound game the American can only dream of playing.

ok, maybe not easy; but we would win.
they play team ball & do all the little small things right & have great chemistry, but bottom line, if we got our best players, playing there all & just leaving it all out there, we cant lose IMO lol.
Tay:
The excuse of "If we cared, we would win" are incorrect. At first, some of the managerial moves made it seem unimportant, and maybe the players weren't giving it their all at the beginning of the series. But that game last night, they were playing as hard as they could, it was obvious. U.S. baseball relies too much on power hitting, but we all know that the best pitching usually wins. If we get a few more players to join and get time to practice together it will improve our chances, but this wasn't a loss due to lack of effort.
